REVIEWS

booksaremylife: No, Juline's mind didn't shatter (yet...). See what Elwin's diagnosis of her passing out is in this chapter! As always, thank you so much for reviewing and have fun reading this next chapter!

Juline moved. Her head felt like it had been split open with a machete. Slowly, she opened her eyes to see both of her parents and her sister sitting by her, but turned so that they were all facing the doctor and listening to his report. Juline shaped her face into what she thought was a smile. "Hi." She whispered. Edaline immediately whipped around, her eyes filled with tears.

"JULINE!" Edaline sobbed, nearly jumping off her chair to hug Juline. Asithya and Westin turned around when they heard Edaline and joined in on the hug. Juline cried tears of joy with her family.

"We thought we had lost you!" Asithya wailed. "Bullhorn was curled up by your side!"

"Don't EVER do that to us again!" Westin ordered, strict even in the middle joy. Juline could only nod. Elwin coughed behind them. Asithya, Edaline and Westin immediately turned around to face the physician.

"Thankfully, Juline's mind was not broken. However, even though I am not a Telepath, even I could tell that her mind was very close to be pushed to the breaking point. The cause of this, I think, is stress and sorrow. To fully heal Juline, she needs to take these six elixirs and rest. And by rest, I mean sleep." Elwin said to the family. Westin, Asithya, Edaline and Juline nodded after he finished his report, signaling that they understood. Juline picked up all six of the elixirs and downed them three at a time in two doses. After she was finished, Elwin spoke again. "I have other patients I must attend to, so I must bid you farewell. Juline, rest up and only return to your daily activities when you feel one hundred percent recovered." Juline nodded and Elwin cast a beam of light with his pathfinder, then stepped into it and glittered away. Westin immediately swept out of the room, and after casting a glance in Juline's direction, Asithya followed.

"Are you ok?" Edaline asked softly.

Juline huffed. "Of course! I was just a bit stressed!"

Edaline raised her eyebrows skeptically. "Rest up anyway. Do you need me to bring you anything?"

"Mallowmelt or custard bursts? Or both?" Juline asked hopefully, making a puppy face at Edaline.

Edaline laughed. "Fine, I'll make you both. How could I refuse to that face anyway?"

Juline's face lit up, and she smiled at Edaline. "Thanks! Don't get too used to me not being around the house-I'll be up and back at it before you know it!"

Edaline rolled her eyes and turned to exit the room, but not before Juline saw a smile on Edaline's face.
